Our Public Schools.

At recent meeting of the State School
Commissioners Association, held 10 Bal
timore, committee was appointed to Wis
it Annapolis this winter and lay before
the Legislature the needs of our public
schools. The State appropriation for edu
cational purposes isentirely too inadequate
for its present needs, and many of the
counties, in consequence, are compelled
to close their schools several months be
fore the scholastic year ends Tor lack of
funds. To this end the following resolu.
ton was offered THAT the continued
prosperity of the public schools depends
upen the possession of sufficient money
to pay legitimate expenses. and that as
yearly the school expenses are increasing
and The proceeds of the State school tax
yearly diminishing, application should
De made to the Legislature for an addi-
tion of at least two cents TO. the State
school tax

thoughts for a Christmas Address

Many OF our readers being teachers In
week day and Sunday schools, will, un
doubiedly, be called on for addresses at
the Christmas festival. We furnish few
thoughts, which may assist them In pre-
pairing their remarks
The word Christmas comes from Chrtst
and mass, as o. that day special mass was
said in the ancient church. The day crle
brated, December 25th, il Is now pretty
definitely known was the exact day on
which the birth of Christ occurred. Re
searches in histery confirm the fact.
The birth OF Jesus occurred In the days
of Augustus Cesar. Augustus was the
immediate successor of Julius. Tiberias
was Gear when the crucifxion OF brist
took place Her d. the Great, was the
King He was of the Idumean or Edomite
race, and was made king Of Judea by the
Roman Senate. lie died soon after the
birth of Christ
The parents of Christ went from Cali
lee to Bethlehem to be registered, each
family being obliged To 60 To its ancestral
CITY for the purpose While at Bethlehem
the birth of The Savior took place, which
Is described in plain. unvarnisbed Ian
guage by st. Luke. And there were IN
the same country" Luke continues.
shepherds abiding in the q Id, keeping
watch over their flocks by night; and To-,
the angel of the Lord came upon them,
and the glory of the Lord shone round
about them, and they were sore afraid.
Then the angel spoke tn them and he told
them that he came not TO alright them,
but to bring them good tidings OF great
Joy not for them only, but Tor "all PEG
ple"--ihe news Of the birth OF Savior,
whom they would find in the Bethlehem
mauger, and thereupon suddenly there
was with the angel a multitude OF the
heavenly host, praising God, and saying,
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth
peace, good will toward men And then
lit came TO pass. as the angels were gone
away into heaven" that the shepherds
FASTENED to Bethlehem, aud found Mary
and saw the child; land when they bad
seen ii they made known abroad what
the angel had told them, and all wonder
ed who heard it
The lowly birth of the Savior shows
how GSd takes cognizance OF little things
The poverty of Christ is an encourage
ment for the poorest cbild,-there is none
poorer. The birth of Chri-t is type OF
the new birth. The birth OF Christ was
The great turning point in the worlds
history. Compare Christian lands with
heather lands. Christ came to the shep
herds before they came to him. He always
comes to us first Christ in the cradle, a
terror TO the wicked king. Why have we
Christmas trees and decorations Why do
we make Christmas presents? Why do
we have candles on Christmas trees?
